Ushare is a great app for streaming to the Xbox 360 (well tested, with avi files), PS3 (not so well tested) and perhaps other UPnP clients.
Ushare has an issue: it does not refresh it's database periodically with new files or folders being added.
Adding Files
So, any time you add any files to your movies/music/pictures folders, please restart it via the servers area (under Setup -> Applications -> Servers, with advanced settings turned on), or by hand as root, with
service amahi-ushare restart
We are considering issuing the research via a crontab every few minutes.
Adding Folders
- Similar to files, modify the line with USHARE_UNION in:
/var/hda/apps/ushare/ushare.conf
- Then
service amahi-ushare restart
Logs & Other Goodies
- uShare logs are located at:
/var/log/messages
- To debug a problem, create the problem again and take a look in the /messages log file, this will show the problem at hand.
- NOTE: Even if you change the USHARE_IFACE in /var/hda/apps/ushare/ushare.conf to eth(x) ushare on amahi only works with the default eth0.
The [ushare]server will show on your device but no content[movies,music].
